Go back to ancient times to explore the case

Before Xie Yu'an could speak, a string of water droplets hit her face. She was really afraid that Yan Qingchuan would do something, so she raised her hands and shouted, "It's me, it's me! Master Yan."

With her eyes closed, she heard the sound of water breaking behind the screen, followed by the rustling of clothes.

A gust of wind blew past in front of her, followed by a faint fragrance. Xie Yu'an opened his eyes, and Yan Qingchuan was already dressed and standing in front of her.

Mr. Yan, who has always been expressionless and unsmiling, has wet black hair at this moment, a few strands of hair stick to his cheeks, a series of drops of water slide down his cheeks, his thin clothes are semi-permeable, clinging to his body, his whole body is steaming.

In particular, those dark and deep eyes seemed to be immersed in the light of water, swaying shimmeringly.

The word weak does not match Yan Qingchuan at all, but it is the word that best describes Master Yan's appearance.

Xie Yu'an felt his heart twitch slightly.

"Why is it you again?" Yan Qingchuan frowned, with an expression of impatience and displeasure.

Xie Yu'an came back to his senses, and was thinking about how to find an excuse to explain, when he heard Yan Qingchuan say coldly: "Next time, get out of here, and don't even think about staying in Qingtian Division any longer!"

Xie Yu'an shrunk his neck guiltily, quickly answered "Yes", and then slipped back to the room.

She let out a long sigh, and said to the middle of the air: "System, can we change the book to wear? I think I am not compatible with Mr. Yan, and I have a life-threatening conflict. I want to take another risk to recharge the battery. Maybe she will do it someday." I'm dead."

The system was silent for a while, and then began to play "Sunshine Always After the Storm", "Work hard to win", and "Believe in Yourself".

Xie Yu'an's mouth twitched, "I really appreciate you comforting me."

After complaining, she realized that she still had business to ask, so she quickly said: "By the way, the system, why is the first case not the case of the unnamed female corpse in the suburbs of Beijing? This plot is not going right."

The electronic voice replied: "The left servant of the Ministry of Rites did not follow the plot and died in the Chenxiang Pavilion because of the wind, which caused the butterfly effect. The subsequent development will not be able to follow the original plot. Please adapt to the host."

Xie Yu'an was stunned for a while, then murmured: "Good guy... with my only golden finger, the God's perspective is gone?"

System: "It can be understood in this way."

Xie Yu'an resigned to his fate and lay back on the bed. The next day he obediently got up at five o'clock, changed his clothes and waited in the yard in an orderly manner.

When Yan Qingchuan opened the door and came out, he saw such a scene.

In the courtyard in the lonely winter morning, the perverse and unruly woman was standing quietly in the courtyard, showing a rare obedient appearance.

Yan Qingchuan was a little surprised, and said lightly: "Let's go."

Xie Yu'an hurriedly kept up with Yan Qingchuan's pace, thinking in his heart, it turns out that Lord Yan likes the good girl, so the acting is over.

"Master Yan, wait for me." She called out sweetly.

Then the two came to Qingtian Division, and after breakfast, Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an went straight to Yuan's Mansion.

The Yuan Mansion is located in the residential area in the east of the city. The huge house is enough to show the financial strength of the Yuan Mansion.

After knocking on the door, it was an old butler who opened the door.

After Yan Qingchuan reported his identity, he hurriedly welcomed the two of them in.

Then there was a routine questioning, during which Su Mei's testimony yesterday was confirmed to be true.

But when Yan Qingchuan asked if there was anything unusual when Yuan Hai and Su Mei had dinner in the room yesterday, the old housekeeper's eyes flickered, and he hesitated and said no.

Yan Qingchuan didn't ask any more questions, and immediately came to Yuan Hai's room.

After looking around the room, she stood still in front of a white jade porcelain vase placed on a low table, and said: "The white jade flying crane vase is produced by the Fulu Kiln in Jinzhou. Only a hundred or so pieces are produced a year, and the Yuan family is really rich and powerful." , Such a treasure vase, used to arrange flowers, waste everything."

After the words fell, the door opened, Su Mei walked in and said, "Why are you here?"

She pinched the handkerchief, looking a little nervous.

Xie Yu'an smirked and said, "Of course we are investigating the case, Madam Yuan, don't be nervous."

Su Mei glared at Xie Yu'an and said nothing.

Yan Qingchuan stared at the white jade porcelain vase for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast corner of the room, "Mrs. Yuan, Fulu kiln porcelains are all twin vases, there is only one in the room right now, where is the other?"

The fine lines at the corners of Su Mei's eyes trembled with the tip of her eyes, and she said in a tight voice, "I accidentally broke one by accident."

"Really?" Yan Qingchuan murmured, then walked up to Su Mei, grabbed the woman's wrist and lifted it up, staring at her index finger missing a nail and asked: "Then I would like to ask Mrs. Yuan , what's going on with your hand."

Su Mei was taken aback by Yan Qingchuan's sudden movement, her face turned pale.

Yan Qingchuan said in a deep voice: "It's about a murder case. If you don't report it, or even lie about it, according to Dayan's regulations, Madam Yuan knows what will happen?"

Su Mei exhausted herself, fell down on the chair, and said with a dazed expression: "At the dinner table last night, I had a big fight with the master. I was out of breath and slapped him. Porcelain vases from that time hit me, and the wounds on my hands and forehead were left at that time.”

"What are you arguing about?"

Su Mei gritted her teeth and said, "He's completely stunned. He's going to divorce me to marry that foxy girl from Chenxiang Pavilion. I'm his official wife who is married to eight big sedan chairs. That little hoof is just a lowly prostitute. Why should she!"

Yan Qingchuan continued to ask: "Is the woman you're talking about called Ye He?"

"Yes, a person who is rotten from the inside to the outside has the nerve to call himself a lot. It's really disgusting." Su Mei said angrily.

Xie Yu'an frowned and said, "Then why did you hide this matter yesterday?"

Su Mei's eyes were filled with resentment, "It's not because you suspect that I killed the master. I failed to give him a son and a half, and now he wants to divorce his wife. In your eyes, am I the most motivated?" The person who killed the master?"

Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an looked at each other, and they left Yuan Mansion without asking any further questions.

On the way back to Qingtian Division, Xie Yu'an said firmly: "This woman Su Mei must be hiding something. When a person is thinking, different areas of the brain will be activated, and brain activity will trigger horizontal eye movements. The left side is responsible for language and thinking, and the right side Responsible for space, image and information.

"Just now when I asked her why she concealed the quarrel with Yuan Hai, her gaze, which was originally looking straight, suddenly turned to the left, and then looked at me. There is a high probability that she is thinking about this problem rationally and "thinking" about a Answers come out, not emotional memories.”

Yan Qingchuan stopped, Xie Yu'an didn't wait for her to ask questions, and took the initiative to explain: "I can't explain this theory clearly to you, but there is some truth to it anyway."

After she finished speaking, Yan Qingchuan really didn't intend to ask any further questions, he just said: "I will send someone to investigate Su Mei and monitor her every move."

Xie Yu'an nodded.

After returning to Qingtian Division, the people who happened to go out to investigate Yuan Hai's relationship and the road from Yuan Mansion to Chenxiang Pavilion also came back.

Everyone came to the room to report on the case.

Yuan Hai, the owner of Yuanji Bank, was 38 years old. His parents died young. Because his wife Su Mei was infertile, she had several outhouses.

Apart from the accidents in running a bank, this person also privately lends money to poor people, small businesses and peddlers, and charges high interest from them. He is narrow-minded and has a violent temper. The couple hanged themselves to death, became enemies with many people in Beijing, and their interpersonal relationship was bad.

Xie Yu'an gave a "tsk", "The investigation will be more difficult now, first list the people who have a bad relationship with him, and visit them one by one."

No one answered, and everyone in the room was waiting for Yan Qingchuan's instructions.

Yan Qingchuan flipped through the report booklet and said, "Do as she says."

Then everyone answered in unison: "Yes."

Xie Yu'an grinned and began to sort out the case.

"The deceased, Yuan Hai, was found at [-] o'clock in the morning yesterday in an alley on the side of Min'an Avenue. The cause of death was stabbed in the chest by a sharp knife and he lost blood.

The night before the incident, the deceased had a dispute with his wife, Su Mei, and then arrived at Chenxiang Pavilion at seven o'clock. During this period, he stayed in the room with Ye He, a brothel girl, and never went out. He left after midnight and was killed around three o'clock in the morning. "

"This is the timeline of the current known clues. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing their understanding.

Xie Yu'an continued: "The direction of the next investigation, one is to find Yuan Hai's enemies who have the motive and time of committing the crime, and the other is to follow the line of Su Mei closely."

Xu Jin got up, he already looked down on Xie Yu'an's unclean background, and the way she gave orders now made him even more displeased, "Why should we listen to you, who do you think you are?"

Xie Yu'an blinked at him, and threw an ambiguous smile, "You have to ask Lord Yan, I'm hers."

Xu Jinnong frowned, "You, what do you mean, what do you mean you belong to Mr. Yan?"

Yan Qingchuan got up and said, "Okay, don't chat, just do as she says."

Xu Jin snorted heavily and left the room.

Then everyone in the house dispersed, Yan Qingchuan threw a bunch of keys to Xie Yu'an, "I still have business to do, you go home on your own."

Xie Yu'an wisely didn't ask any further questions, and after receiving the key, he and Luo Yirong went to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Xie Yu'an decided to dig out Yan Qingchuan's life experience as soon as possible to advance the plot, so he asked, "Why does Lord Yan live alone? Where is her family?"

Luo Yi paused for a while, showing hesitation, took a chopsticks dish for her, and said: "Both parents of Mr. Yan have passed away, and most of the relatives of Yan's family have also passed away, so Mr. Yan has been alone all these years. , all alone."

Xie Yu'an pretended to be surprised and said, "This...what's going on?"

Rong Shi sighed and said, "Seven years ago, a major case that shocked the world happened in Kyoto."

"At that time, the tax money from the imperial court disappeared overnight. The Minister of the Household Department hanged himself in prison and left a letter stating that the theft of tax money was done by himself. Then he woke up and apologized with his life."

Rong Shi looked at Xie Yu'an, and said slowly: "The Minister of the Household Department is Lord Yan's father, because of this incident, Yan's house was confiscated, the men were exiled into the army, and the women's family members were slaves. Madam Yan suffered a serious illness after the incident and died suddenly. Over the years, there is only Lord Yan left in the Yan family."

Xie Yu'an put down his chopsticks, and was about to ask Yan Qingchuan how he became the Qingtian Secretary Shaoqing from a criminal minister.

Before opening his mouth, Rong Shi said again: "Master Yan has a rough life experience, and suffered hardships when he was young. This matter is a taboo of Mr. Yan, so you must not mention it in front of her."

Luo Yi also said: "Miss Xie, stop asking about these old things, the past is over, let it go."

Xie Yu'an had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, and didn't ask any more questions.

Then when he returned to Yan Mansion, Xie Yu'an lay on the couch tossing and turning, thinking about the matter of wearing a book, he still felt very strange, and when the protagonist in the book appeared vividly in front of him, this feeling of wonder reached its peak .

The words between Rong Shi and Luo Yi still linger in her mind. She has to say that she began to be curious about Yan Qingchuan's past life experience. Difficulty is more about the desire to explore and discover deep in my heart.

And the goal of this exploration.

It was Yan Qingchuan.

Xie Yu'an flattened his body to feel sleepy, but the image of Yan Qingchuan gradually appeared in his mind.

Serious, mean and indifferent, gloomy, and Mr. Yan who was weak and delicate under the mist last night.

She turned over and sat up, put on her outer robe and went straight to Yuan Mansion.
